K70 Wireless Battery-Powered Touch Button

Datasheet
Sure Cross® K70 Wireless Battery-Powered Touch Button combines the best of Banner's popular touch button family with its reliable, field-proven,
Sure Cross wireless architecture.
This self-contained, fully wireless device consists of a bidirectional radio transmitter with an on-board capacitive touch button and four colored LEDs
powered by a single lithium battery. The K70 wireless battery-powered touch button offers superior mounting flexibility as it can be placed almost
anywhere, regardless of availability of power. Multicolored LEDs allow for communicating multiple statues with a single device and a capacitive
touch button gives users the ability to provide remote feedback/communication.
• Self-contained battery-powered touch button
• Up to four colors in one device: green, red, yellow, and blue, with additional colors available by blending
• Available in 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz ISM radio frequencies
• Rugged, water-resistant IP65 housing with UV-stabilized material
• Bright, uniform indicator segments appear gray when off to eliminate false indication from ambient light
• Excellent immunity to false triggering by water spray, detergents, oils, and other foreign materials
• Ergonomically designed to eliminate hand, wrist, and arm stresses associated with repeated switch
operation; requires no physical force to operate

Quick Start Guide

Continue reading the datasheet for more detailed instructions.
1. Set the DIP switches.
2. Install the battery.
The radio powers on automatically.
3. Bind the K70 to its Gateway (DXM Controller or DX80 Performance Gateway) and assign a Node ID to the K70.
4. Mount the K70.
5. Collect the data with the DXM Controller or Gateway from Input 1 (touch button status).
6. Control the color status by turning on outputs 1 through 4 for the green, red, yellow, and blue LEDs respectively.

Overview
The K70 Wireless Battery-Powered Touch Button is pre-configured to work as a toggle switch with instant feedback. While the button is touched,
the green LED is on and flashes after it is released. The button can be touched again to turn off the flashing green LED or it can be controlled
wirelessly to turn off or change another color.

Configuration Instructions
Assembling the K70

Rotate the dome

Align notches on clockwise to
dome and base and lock into place
press together (notches shown in
locked position).

Set the Radio Module DIP Switches

Before applying power to the device, set the radio module's DIP switches. Default configurations are noted with (*). After changing DIP switch
positions, cycle power to the device for the changes to take effect. To cycle power, triple-click the binding button. After the status LEDs alternately
flash red and green, then double-click the binding button.

Radio Transmit Power—The 900 MHz radios transmit at 1 Watt (30 dBm) or 250 mW (24 dBm). The 250 mW mode reduces the radio's range but
improves the battery life in short range applications. For 2.4 GHz models, this DIP switch is disabled. The transmit power for 2.4 GHz is fixed at
about 65 mW EIRP (18 dBm).
Toggle—The input register toggles between a value of 0 (off) and 1 (on) with successive button presses or touches. Write a decimal value of 5377 to
I/O 15 to clear the toggle to 0 or write a value of 5505 to alternate the current state of the toggle ( 0 to 1 or 1 to 0).
Momentary—The input register holds the value of the current state of the button. When the button is actively pressed or touched, the input register
shows a value of 1. When the button is not pressed or touched, the input register shows a value of 0.
Latch—After an input is activated (register set to 1) with a button press or using Modbus messages, the input remains at 1 until cleared or alternated
by writing a value of 5377 or 5505 respectively. Latching prevents a successive button press from setting the input back to 0.
For more details on Latch/Toggle controls, see the Latch/Toggle Control for Push Button and Touch Button Inputs technical note (p/n b_51135628).
Rising/Falling Edge Counter—The input register increments with each successive press. When the button is actively pressed or touched, the register
increments by a value of 1, the register increments again by a value of 1 when the button is released. LEDs do not turn ON unless the touch
feedback control is enabled and are only on while actively pressed or touched. Touch feedback for the LEDs follows Momentary touch functions.

Install or Replace the Battery

To replace the lithium "C" cell battery in the K70, follow these steps.
Figure 2. Install the battery as shown

1. Access the battery terminal by removing the dome. See Assembling the K70 on p. 2.
2. If applicable, remove the discharged battery.
3. Install the new battery.
4. Verify the positive and negative terminals align to the positive and negative terminals of the battery holder mounted within the case.
5. Allow up to 60 seconds for the device to turn on, or you can press and hold the binding button for five seconds to turn on the device.
6. Properly dispose of used batteries according to local regulations by taking it to a hazardous waste collection site, an e-waste disposal
center, or other facility qualified to accept lithium batteries.

Bind the K70 to the Gateway and Assign the Node Address
Before beginning the binding procedure, apply power to all the devices.

Binding button
1. Enter binding mode.
• For housed Gateways, triple-click button 2.
• For board-level Gateway modules, triple-click the button.
• For DXMs, under the ISM Radio menu, use the down arrow button to highlight the Binding menu. Click ENTER.
On the board modules, the green/red LED flashes. On the housed models, both LEDs flash red.
2. Assign the K70 a Node address using the Gateway's rotary dials or the DXM's arrow keys.
• On a Gateway: Use the left rotary dial for the left digit and the right rotary dial for the right digit. For example, to assign your K70 to
Node 01, set the left dial to 0 and the right dial to 1.
• On the DXM: Use the arrow keys to select the Node ID, then press ENTER. The display shows Binding.
Valid Node addresses are 01 through 47.
3. Access the circuit board in the radio module of the K70.
4. Enter binding mode on the K70 by triple-clicking the binding button.
The bicolor LED flashes alternately while it searches for a Gateway in binding mode. After the K70 is bound, the LED is red and green for
four seconds (looks amber), then it flashes four times (looks amber). The K70 automatically exits binding mode, cycles power, and enters
Run mode.
5. For DXMs, click BACK to exit binding for that specific Node address.
6. Label the Node with the assigned address for future references.
This makes it easier to identify the physical Node location within a multi-Node network.
7. Reassemble the components back onto the base.
8. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for as many K70 Wireless Battery-Powered Touch Buttons as are needed for your network.
9. After binding all K70s, exit binding mode on the Gateway.
• For housed Gateways, double-click button 2.
• For board-level Gateway modules, double-click the button.
• For DXM models, click BACK until you return to the main menu.

LED Behavior for the Nodes

Nodes do not sample inputs until they are communicating with the Gateway. The radios and antennas must be a minimum distance apart to function
properly. Recommended minimum distances are:
900 MHz 150 mW and 250 mW radios: 6 feet
900 MHz 1 Watt radios: 15 feet
2.4 GHz 65 mW radios: 1 foot

Single register control—Single register control combines all the output registers from the default I/O mode into a single register.
Single register control word—Use the single register control word to simultaneously control the light functions with a single command. For example,
a decimal value of 1024 flashes the green LED and turns off all other LEDs. A decimal value of 40960 turns on the blue LED and turns off all other
LEDs.

Pick mode—When a green pick request is sent via single register control, touching the capacitive touch button changes the K70 color to yellow
latched. Single register control is used to turn the K70 back off. For example, write a value of 1024 to Register 14 to enable (green light on). The
yellow light turns on to acknowledge locally (I/O 6, Output Feedback, changes to 4096). Write 1023 (or 0) to reset to the off state. Banner Engineering
recommends setting the Touch Feedback Control to No Feedback when using Pick mode.

a gain greater that 9 dBm are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio
interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen such that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not
more than that permitted for successful communication. Consult with Banner Engineering Corp. if the destination country is not on this list.
